From: Alan on 31 Dec 2005 18:27 I have a few sheets that have some programming in them and that isn't supported. When creating new sheets I try to avoid it now. Other than that I haven't come across anything that's been a problem.

From: Beverly Howard [Ms-MVP/MobileDev] on 31 Dec 2005 23:13 Also, be _very_ aware of the danger of "round tripping" complex documents... Since the pocket versions can't handle the complex functions, they are "stripped" when they are editied on the ppc... subsequently, when these files are synced back to the pc, all of the complexity in the originals on the pc are lost... do not sync the originals... only copies.
